Tspecial to the Press I

Especial to the Press.l
AUGUSTA, Oct. 19.-The second and last
day of the encampment of Names militia
sharpshooters was in all respects successful.
- The weather was very favorable, and the
men have enjoyed the practice.
Perhaps the most interesting event of the
encampment was the exhibition shoot, which
occurred in the forenoon. At the last mus
ter, the Frontier Guards made up a team
from their company and shot under the fol-
lowing conditions:
Thirty-six men; distance from 100 to $50 yards;
10 shots, five fired in advancing TO 1--WE in retreat,
ing. the squads being halted at distances unknown
70 them; target six feet tall and four feet wide;
third class.
The Guards made percentage of 63,
which was very good considering that the
men were taken all from one company. Their
target, after being shot at, was photograph
ed, and the picture inserted in the Adiu-
tant Generals report. This went all over
the country, and last August team of Sc
men from theregular army, Missouri divis
ion, shot at Bellevue. Nebraska, under the
same conditions. to see If they could beat
the percentage. The result of their shooting
was 63 bulPs-eyes, 2l3 centres, 81 inners. 16
cutters, miss: total score, 14OO, OF II 7-lOths
per cent. This, it will be seen, was much
better than the Frontier Guards score. To-
day it was resolved to beat the regulars, and
the same conditions prevailing picked team
was made up as follows:

STAIN TO TESTIFY.
Arrangements for the Hearing In the
Barron Case.
Especial to the Press.1


AUGUSTA, Oct. 19.-Anson M. Goddard,
Esq. of this city, who has represented the
World as counsel in the Stain campaign, says
that young Stain will probably be placed on
the stand at the preliminary hearing on Sat
urday; also Detective Beane and John Har-
yey. of Massachusetts. County Attorney
Appleton, of Penobscot County, will be in
attendance, and Attorney General Baker has
been asked to attend.
Mt. Vernon citizens report that the alleged
murderer, Stain, was in the habit of sending
stolen goods to his mother in that town and
she would dispose of them by peddling or
otherwise. One of her neighbors says that
what makes the young man SO weak minded
Is because she placed his head in a pail of
water when small boy, and held it there
until he was nearly dead. The old lady died
about year and half ago.
Harvey In Augusta.

are tne rlght men. he will remain here to-
night and go to Dexter tomorrow.
Harvey apparently knows nothing about
the robbery except that Cromwell. as he al

knew enough about the Dexter affair to shut
